Like .avi or .flac or .mp3.
Can they?
And it's not because I'm interested in doing it. >:C
It's because I'm interested in it not happening.

I'm sure to some extent they could, but it doesn't make sense how.

I think anything can carry a virus. I don't know. I just think it's a matter of using a program to inject code or something into the program and then by executing the program, it triggers the virus.

Just a theory.

I'm quite certain that certain viruses can spread themselves through almost any kind of file.

Dammit, I'm never safe.

Firewalls help.

research can have viruses. It has the most viruses of anything, in fact, not including STD's.

Random nudes of furries aren't safe, so why are you suddenly freaking out?

Anything with code inside of it means a virus can exist inside.

MP3 files can. Dunno about the rest.
